The IMDB says he subsequently returned, but I never saw his name on the credits.<BR/><BR/>I saw the movie quite a bit before I read the book, so my memory may be a tad iffy, but yes, the first one was essentially Koontz's vision of what ended up as USA's movie, and Books Two and Three are direct continuations of the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-1156859632824379512006-08-29T08:53:00.000-05:002006-08-29T08:53:00.000-05:00I thought I'd imagined that there'd once been plan...I thought I'd imagined that there'd once been plans to turn it into a series. I'm not sure I ever knew that Scorsese had been attached. That actually explains things a little bit. Given the names of the people involved, it should've been great, not just merely "not bad."<BR/><BR/>So, does the first book cover the whole movie, and the next two continue the story?Michael Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514945570212261283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-1156857759312759632006-08-29T08:22:00.000-05:002006-08-29T08:22:00.000-05:00I agree, this movie wasn't bad.

Wasn't great, either, but certainly not the train wreck you'd expect to see, given Koontz having his name taken off of it *completely.*<BR/><BR/>And yet the book is very close to it, character names and all. Except that the book is awesome. I wish Book Three would come out already.<BR/><BR/>I remember how this TV movie was originally announced as "Dean Koontz's Frankenstein," was going to be produced by Martin Scorsese and was going to be a pilot for a series. That would've been something to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
